Chiodos Unleash Stunning New Track ‘TAPDAT’, Their First In 12 Years
Chiodos have released 'TAPDAT', their first new song in 12 years, marking a fresh chapter for the band following their 2024 comeback. The track arrives after two years of extensive touring, including celebrations of the 20th anniversary of their landmark album 'All's Well That Ends Well', and the band have also announced they have signed to SharpTone Records.
'TAPDAT' is described as technical and melodically driven, drawing on the band's early sound while pushing in a new direction, and follows their last full-length release, 'Devil', from 2014. Vocalist Craig Owens said the song marks the first step in rebuilding "the world of Chiodos" and that the band feel stronger and more focused than ever. Chiodos will support the release with a North American tour beginning 30 July in Denver and running through late August, with 156/silence, sace6 and Second Harbour as support acts.

Explained simply
Chiodos are an American rock band known for their technical instrumental work and distinctive vocal style. They achieved significant commercial and critical success in the late 2000s with their celebrated 2007 album "All's Well That Ends Well", which became influential within rock music circles.
The band effectively halted their recording efforts following their 2014 album "Devil", withdrawing from public prominence for over a decade. They returned to touring in 2024, which marked a turning point as they began reconnecting with fans through live performances and celebrating the legacy of their earlier work.
Following two years of intensive touring and a recent record deal with an independent label, Chiodos are advancing their comeback with new material and scheduled live dates. This represents their full return to active status as a band creating fresh work and maintaining a performing presence.
